E-BIKE HIRE AVAILABLE

This tour is well-suited to both regular bikes and pedal assist e-bikes, and you can choose to hire either when you book your tour with us. Confident cyclists will enjoy the boost from a battery for those cheeky climbs, and with less effort required on the bike, you’ll have more energy at the end of the day for off-the-bike activities.

Daily departures available. The season prices below are per person and are applicable for all start dates between and inclusive of the stated dates.

2025 05 Jan – 13 Dec

Season 1 – £1795 05 Jan – 29 Jun and 15 Sep – 13 Dec

Season 2 – £2135 30 Jun – 14 Sep

Worth noting We run this tour from Jan through to Dec. The summer months however (generally from 01 Jul – 15 Sep) can be really busy. More people, more cyclists, busier restaurants, busier hotels etc, so we’d recommend travelling in the Spring or Autumn if you‘re looking for a quieter getaway with less cyclists to share the route with.

Please note We are generally not able to confirm any bookings for this tour made within 4 weeks of departure. Please contact our office if you are looking to book and begin your holiday within this period and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

OPTIONAL E-BIKE DEPARTURES

We offer this holiday with an e-bike only departure as well as regular trips where you can choose a regular bike or a pedal assist e-bike hire. Our e-bike only departures allow you to experience more on two wheels whilst riding with like-minded Skedaddlers. Confident cyclists will enjoy the boost from a battery for those cheeky climbs and longer distances. With less effort required on the bike, you’ll have more energy at the end of the day for off-the-bike activities. Remember to select your e-bike hire when you book your holiday with us. You may choose to hire an e-bike on a regular trip but bear in mind that the pace will be set to riders without an e-bike.
